LYNDA’S BIO

 Seamlessly traversing a range of genres, singer/songwriter, author, speaker and television personality Lynda Randle is one of Christian music’s most distinct voices. A familiar face at Gaither Homecoming events and on Homecoming videos through the years, her arrangement of “God On The Mountain” is the most popular video on the Gaither Music TV YouTube Channel with over 88 million views. Garnering a Dove Award for her 2004 album A Tribute To Mahalia Jackson, Randle has had the honor of performing for millions across the globe, and sharing the stage with some of the most influential leaders of this generation, including Rev. Billy Graham, Dr. Tony Evans, Dr. Charles Stanley, and Dr. Robert Schuller.  In addition to her debut at the historic Grand Ol’ Opry, Randle has shared the stage at the Prestigious Carnegie Hall with Gospel Music Legend Andre Crouch, and appeared at an event featuring Glady’s Knight.

Randle’s acclaimed Pilgrim Journey, a roots-spirituals driven musical anthology debuted in the Top 10 on Apple Music’s Top Christian Albums chart, and features duets with Little Big Town’s Kimberly Schlapman and legendary songwriter, producer and bassist Tommy Sims. 

Lynda’s latest project, By The Riverside, is a collection of gospel favorites and originals set to the smooth and steady rhythm of steel guitars, lively strings and laid back tempo of the steel guitar.

A peacemaker at heart and bridge builder between audiences of all ages, race, and ethnicities, Lynda’s message and music is truly cross cultural. 

While many may know Lynda as a singer, songwriter, author, and TV personality, her most cherished roles are that of wife to Pastor Michael Randle (Mosaic Bible Fellowship) and forever mother to her two adult daughters, Patience and Joy. 

A NOTE FROM LYNDA

I accepted the Lord as my personal Savior at the age of 12. My dad, who was an evangelist in the inner–city of Washington, D.C., led me to the Lord at our kitchen table. After four years of trying to do things my way, I realized that Christ had only been my Savior and not my Lord. So, by faith, I surrendered my life completely to Him to use me in whatever way He saw fit. To my surprise, He started using music, and believe me, it was a surprise. I had never dreamed of becoming a gospel singer.

After failing the 9th grade and barely making it through the l0th grade in the D.C. public school system, my parents placed me in a predominately white Christian school. My whole world began to change. I started to see life from a totally different perspective and I was excited about all the possibilities that God had for me. After being in this school for nearly one month, I reluctantly joined the only choir that they had, which happened to be all white. Speaking of possibilities, singing with that choir almost seemed an impossibility at first. But God was faithful! I believe that God was preparing me then for what I know to be His will for me now. Bridging gaps.

I know that God has definitely placed a call upon my life to help tear down the walls between the races that have been built over the years and in their place build bridges. There is a great need today for bridge–builders and still a greater need to help people cross over. People that have never known how to, were afraid to, or just plain refused to in the past. I am so excited that God has allowed me the privilege of helping to build these bridges and enable me to help others cross over as well. It is about time that they know what is on the other side of life, so to speak. Fear, ignorance, and anger has held us back too long. I am ready to cross over. Are you?
